The Quotes

Edward: As you were sleeping, you said my name. You spoke so clearly, at first I thought you'd woken. But you rolled over restlessly and mumbled my name once more, and sighed. The feeling that coursed through me then was unnerving, staggering. And I knew I couldn't ignore you any longer

Edward: And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.Bella: What a stupid lamb.Edward: What a sick, masochistic lion.

Edward: If I could dream at all, it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it.

Edward: It would be more...prudent for you not to be my friend, but I'm tired of trying to stay away from you, Bella.

Edward: You are exactly my brand of heroin.

Edward: Bella, I couldn't live with myself if I ever hurt you. You don't know how it's tortured me. The thought of you, still, white, cold...to never see you blush scarlet again, to never see that flash of intuition in your eyes when you see through my pretenses...it would be unendurable. You are the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever.

Alice: It's been almost a century that Edward's been alone. Now he's found you. You can't see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you?

Edward: For almost ninety years I've walked among my kind, and yours… all the time thinking I was complete in myself, not realizing what I was seeking. And not finding anything, because you weren't alive yet.

Edward: You're the most important thing to me now. The most important thing to me ever."

Bella: I'll always want you. Forever.

Edward: I told you I'm not going anywhere. Don't be afraid. As long as it makes you happy, I'll be here."Bella: You're talking about forever, you know.

Bella: I love youEdward: You are my life now.

Edward: I thought I explained it clearly before. Bella, I can't live in a world where you don't exist
Edward: When I told you I didn't want you, it was the very blackest kind of blasphemy.

Bella: The way I feel about you will never change. Of course I love you - and there's nothing you can do about itEdward: That's all I needed to hear

Edward: I'm here and I love you. I have always loved you, and I will always love you.
Bella: YouEdward: I'm yours

Edward: If you could have anything in the world, anything at all, what would it be?Bella: YouEdward: Something you don't already have
Edward: Isabella Swan? I promise to love you forever every single day of forever. Will you marry me?Bella: Yes.

Edward: I'll be back so soon you won't have time to miss me. Look after my heart - I've left it with you.
Edward: You're the only one who's ever touched my heart. It'll always be yours.

Bella: Edward. Forever means nothing without you. I wouldn't want one day without you

Edward squeezed me gently. "I'm here."
I drew in a deep breath.
That was true. Edward was here, with his arms around me.
I could face anything as long as that was true.
I squared my shoulders and walked forward to meet my fate, with my destiny solidly at my side.

Edward: “Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars- points of light and reason. And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything.”

Bella: “Oh, I’m with the vampires, of course.”

Edward: "You're incredible."

Edward: "Forever"Bella: "That's all I'm asking for."

Bella: "Easy. You're more important than everyone else. and you've given me you."
Bella: "What did you hear."Edward: "You said you loved me."Bella: "You knew that already."Edward: "It's still nice to hear just the same."

Bella: "I always want you."

Edward: "Sleep, my Bella. Dream happy dreams. You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. Sleep, my only love."

Edward: "And the sound of your heart, It's the most significant sound in my world. I'm so attuned to it now, I swear I could pick it out from miles away. But neither of these things matter. This, You. That's what I'm keeping. You'll always be my Bella, you'll just be a little more durable."

Bella: "You said I could have any part of you I wanted. I want this part. I want every part."

Bella: "I love you more than anything else in this world combined."

Bella: "Mostly I dream about being with you forever."

I could feel his lips at my ear.
"I love you." he whispered.
"Me, too."
"I know," he laughed quietly.
I turned my head slightly...searching. He knew what I was after. His lips touched mine gently.
"Thanks." I sighed.
"Anytime."

The music slowed, transforming into something softer, and to my surprise I
detected the melody of his lullaby weaving through the profusion of notes.
"You inspired this one." he said softly. The music grew unbearably sweet.

There was a couple I was considering, one of them was the "Fire & Ice" quote and the other was when the narrative shifted back into Bella's POV and she talks about how their lives are in a single strand, cut one and you cut the other

Ugh, that stupid triangle. Was there even one? Bella always chose Edward. She never went out with Jacob or was his girlfriend. Really what was there between them other than friendship? Oh well there were the forced kisses and hand breaking. How romantic.

Exactly! It pisses me off so much that such a big deal is made about it. J/B were so platonic that it made me cringe There was absolutely no sexual chemistry there at all like there had been from the start with E/B. And Jake's case of puppy love doesn't count either. It was meant to be E/B all the way, and imo, anyone who doesn't understand that, doesn't understand the series.

My God, I don't get why people make a big deal out of JB. I honestly don't, that they are natural crap and that Bella could have a normal relationship with J is bull. He's a werewolf! Yeah that's so normal.

I mean I would've been more invested in a triangle with Mike than this stupid one! Plus it would've made more sense b/c Edward had sort of been in a rivalry with him at some point. And at least it wouldn't have been blown out of proportion like this one was
